The Inner Groove

There is a difference between the US and British version of Sgt. Pepper which I neglected to mention in my previous post: The famous inner groove, which is a bunch of sped up gibberish that played over and over. It was never on the Capitol album. In his book "Many Years From Now", Paul says they are saying "It really can't be any other", which it does kind of sound like. The myth is that if you play it backwards, it says "We'll f*** you like Superman". But to me it sounds like "Never to be Abbey Hoffman".

About Me

In the "real" world, I work at a Bay Area dot.com job. But I'm also the bass player for the Portland punk band "The Cleavers" (we played our first gig in 1978, most recent one in 2004). I'm co-writer of a bunch of our songs and even "sing" a few on them.
And I was a founding member of another Portland group, "Theatre of Sheep" (circa 1980's).
